Yea, I rode with Gravity too, they were amazing. I had so much confidence in them which was really key on that road! Not to mention the hydraulic brakes!

There were some girls with another company that we passed who were on miserable bikes, probably the Bolivian equivalent of a Wal-mart bike, and they were still in their cold-weather clothing at the bottom, riding by themselves (guides ahead in a van). One girl's wheel was out of true and hitting her brake pads. Talk about scary!!! Our guide (who claimed to be able to diagnose any mechanical problem on a bike from 500 feet) stopped to help her repair it.

That ride was so amazing, it is up there with the coolest things I've ever done in my life.
